Steven Witkoff, US representative for Middle East affairs, announced that America has received contacts from Islamic Republic officials and is seeking a long-term diplomatic solution with Iran.
When asked by an interviewer whether they are in dialogue with Iran, he responded: “Yes, absolutely.”
Jared Kushner and Steven Witkoff, US government representatives in Gaza peace negotiations, told CBS News that during direct negotiations with Hamas leaders, a personal guarantee was given by Donald Trump to representatives of this group.
Kushner said Hamas’s biggest fear was that Israel would resume war after withdrawal and hostage release.
Witkoff noted that Trump stated he would stand behind this agreement and no party could violate the conditions.
He also mentioned that during talks, he directly met with Khalil al-Hayya, one of Hamas leaders, and offered condolences for his son’s death during an Israeli attack on Qatar.
Witkoff added that at that moment, the dialogue was no longer between a diplomat and a terrorist, but between two humans showing their suffering to each other.
